Fig. 3. Early Old Kingdom burial in situ in Peet's “Cemetery D,” first excavated in 1912. The tombs shafts were dug about 1.5m deep, and most of the individuals were placed in a flexed position and covered with a large pottery vessel. Often they were interred with jewelry and pottery, such as beer jars, bread moulds, and polished red “Meydum” bowls, and occasionally finer objects like limestone statuettes.

Fig. 2. British Egyptologist Thomas Eric “T.E.” Peet excavated a wide range of areas at Abydos for the Egypt Exploration Fund in the early 1900s, including the early Old Kingdom tombs that have been a focus of our excavations since 2018. Peet's career as a field archaeologist helped lay the foundation for all subsequent fieldwork at Abydos—and he set a pretty high standard with that jacket, too!

Fig. 12. Looking back in time more than 4,500 years to a series of early Old Kingdom tombs that have been here on the landscape of Abydos since before the Great Pyramid or the Sphinx appeared at Giza. They were likely constructed during Egypt’s Third Dynasty.

Managing the collection of archaeological material produced by decades of excavation at Abydos is one of the most important aspects of each season’s fieldwork. Here, as in the group of photos above, the huge volume of ancient pottery generated by the excavations over many years is being processed by specialists from Quft, who carefully identify diagnostic pieces — such as rims, bases, handles, and pieces with distinctive decoration or inscriptions — to be housed in the on-site collections for future detailed study. An equally huge volume of baskets from al-Hagz is central to collections management at the Abydos field house, which incidentally boasts one of the greatest sherd yards ever built in the field!

By the time British archaeologist T.E. Peet excavated this tomb on the eastern slope of the Middle Cemetery at Abydos in 1910, the kirbal (upper left) — along with the tureya & maqtaf (top) — was already a regular feature of professional excavations, which put the recovery and documentation of all excavated material, including the smallest finds, on a par with museum-worthy objects.

Baskets that have seen years of action in the desert sun at Abydos are no longer “green” in appearance, but a sun-dried brown that is closer to the color of the basket handles, made from thin strands of plant fiber from the trunk of the palm tree — a bunch of which can be seen between the two finished baskets in the photo at left.

Often called the “father of archaeology” for his pioneering field methods and attention to small and fragmentary artifacts, Flinders Petrie — seen here at Abydos in 1899 — was never far from a maqtaf like the one pictured here at his feet (lower left).

Fig. 3. Painted coffin of the late Ramesside or Third Intermediate Period found just outside the east corner gateway of the Shunet el-Zebib earlier this week. This elaborate burial is exceptional for the quality of its painted decoration, but even more for having survived at all — the wood of the original coffin has been completely devoured by insects, leaving behind only the extremely fragile painted surface of a once extraordinarily fine coffin to be documented, admired, and preserved.

Located on the site of an older field house (that of John Garstang), the current house was inspired by Nubian architecture and built by Egyptian masons, using traditional materials. Over the years, subsequent expansions to the house, which is still in use today, have followed the basic aesthetic of the 1967 design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c3255a7cef3725fb527e82c/1647614749317-W87ZC32CYEZG23N18KTA/ANC2022+brewery.jpg Abydos Archaeology -
